Yes, but efficient farming is having a negative impact on the biosphere. Like with most issues, the question is "Where do we draw the line?"

Those list just a few studies and it looks like they are conflicting? I can't discuss this issue properly because I don't know enough about it.

I would prefer whichever method is both efficient and environmentally-safe. I'm just annoyed by the currently fashionable knee-jerk reaction of people that assume organic farming is better.

If you don't know enough about the issue to discuss the it properly, then on what are you basing the assumption that people's claims to the superiority of organic farming is knee-jerk?
